& PowerTracking
ControlTL allows you to adjust your remote studio ash’s output
power directly from the camera position in three ways:
Basic Power Control: With just a ControlTL transmitter on your camera, use your camera’s
FEC to adjust remote ash output power. This is called PowerTracking - Full Manual and is
the default when you are not using an AC3 ZoneController on your ControlTL transmitter.
See the Camera FEC Range and Basic Power Control section for more information.
Automatic PowerTracking: When engaged, any changes to aperture and ISO on your
camera are automatically tracked by your remote ash output power to maintain the current
exposure level. For example, if you open the aperture on your camera by one stop, then the
power output level on your remote ash will decrease by one stop.
There are two ways to engage Automatic PowerTracking:
No AC3 ZoneController on your ControlTL transmitter - Set the PowerTracking mode in the PocketWizard
®
Utility to a setting other than Full Manual for Automatic PowerTracking using just your camera’s controls.
AC3 ZoneController Auto Mode - Add an AC3 ZoneController set to A (Auto) on your ControlTL transmitter to
adjust power output level independently for up to 3 zones of light in conjunction with Automatic PowerTracking.
See Automatic PowerTracking section, as well as the PocketWizard Utility section, for more information.
AC3 ZoneController Manual Mode: With an AC3 ZoneController on your ControlTL transmitter, you can
have simple and direct control over your ash output power. See the section on Using an AC3 ZoneController
for more information.
